lyrics

You can hear it said in Amsterdam
Brooklyn, Prague, or Vietnam
the pocket pussy that you squeeze
won't bring back the honey bees
but you've got more important things on your mind

you can hose 'em down with pesticide
until they start to glow inside
the bright light of eternity
that turns us into dust and weeds
but you've got more important things on your mind
than the fact that you can't relax
until they're on their backs

there's a delegation waiting for to send the soldiers to the shore
and grow their wisdom teeth
with their muscles gleaming in the sun
a superpower is super fun
if you just believe

that fratricide and sistercide
will fill their bursting hearts with pride
and they'll see god is on your side
and that you're really such great guys
you just got more important things on your mind

But the devil is you can't recall
of thinking anything at all
of what the consequences were
for feeling so damn self-assured
that you've got more important things on your mind
than the fact that you can't relax
until they're on their backs
oh you can't relax
until they're on their backs.
